"With every step, one encounters the beauties of unspoilt nature … trees reaching a very great height and proportionate diameter … are devoid of branches along the trunk, but crowned with an everlasting green foliage. Some of these trees seem as ancient as the world"

Bruni d’Entrecasteaux

"The eye is astonished in contemplating the prodigious size of these trees … whose tufted summits were crowned with an ever verdant foliage: others, loosened by age from their roots, were supported by neighbouring trees, whilst, as they gradually decayed, they were incorporated … with the parent-earth … a striking picture of the operations of nature, who, left to herself, never destroys but that she may again create. (...)We were filled with admiration at the sight of these ancient forests, in which the sound of the axe had never been heard."

Recherche Bay is declared National Heritage Site and will be managed by Tasmanian Land Conservancy to preserve the landscape witnessed and the footprints left by Citizen Labillardière. The sound of the axe will not be heard again.
